Magnetic Quantum Number ml
What does ml describe? I know that n’s the shell, and l is the sub shell that describes shape, but what does ml describe then?

Re: Magnetic Quantum Number ml
The magnetic quantum number labels different orbitals of a subshell (orientation) that an electron occupies.

ml describes the different orbitals of a subshell, so the orientation.

Re: Magnetic Quantum Number ml
The magnetic quantum number divides subshells into orbitals and describes the orientation of the orbitals.

Re: Magnetic Quantum Number ml
An example would be how orbitals in p subshell could have orientation of px, py, or pz
